The storms you are having we get a few days later. We have been very dry so far this spring. We would welcome some of the rain. Our thunderstorms that form the storms you keep getting form right over I-35 and drop rain east of I-35 and that part of the Oklahoma is drought free.
Rain always seems to be too much or too little is various parts of the country.
It is really hard to get politicians to spend money on drainage and run off to a storage facility like a man made lake. There is no wow factor in buried storm drainage pipes and big empty field waiting for a big rain to fill it up when the rains don't fall for years at a time. A multi billion dollar train to nowhere is flashy and has big promises to ease congestion to the millions of commuters that sit in traffic every day.
A fresh water lake can bring in millions in revenue but they cost mega millions to make it happen.
There is no easy answer, except to elect politicians the will work for a better future, and not just to enrich themselves, and that is for all politicians not just the left or right.
